Knowledge and machine architectures

A paradigm is proposed based upon a taxonomy of knowledge; a taxonomy that has been strongly influenced by the need to represent knowledge for machine processing. The importance of such a paradigm is to show an equivalence of activity in all spheres of system design from knowledge systems to machine architectures and thus open up the possibility of cross fertilization of techniques and a redistribution of tasks across fields. Both these possibilities will improve the design of knowledge systems within the framework of a rapidly evolving technology.<
